If they are CAA certified then the sure can....

Most med centres have a doc in who is, you just have to ask around. The locums maybe a good source.

Rates vary from a good bottle of something to a donation to the RMC tea bar fund in my experience.

Best o' luck.

Most medical centres do not have a CAA AME these days, but it is always worth asking. The bottle of something or the RMC BBQ or tea-bar fund is also long gone.

The CAA now charge the RAF CAA-qualed Doc for issuing the paperwork via an electronic system that they have to pass on to you - or they foot the bill!

Finally, I believe all Class 1 meds have to go for initial at Gatwick these days (aircrew or not). So unless you have been issued a Class 1 previously then it is not possible unless a renewal by a RAF Dr (edit: I'm 100% sure this is the case since 1 Jan 09 having looked it up for you).

The SMO at Honington is fully clued up on this as a serving RAF Wg Cdr AME - try dropping him a friendly e-mail on Dii.

Sorry to p!ss on your bonfire TTH but things have changed of late.

Aside from initial Class 1, Wattisham can do it. Charge for the ECG to be read by the CAA and a contribution to the brew fund and Doc's annual training bill.

No apologies necessary old chap, thanks for the update. Must have just missed the cut.

Here in France, with a French licence, I have to have my Class 1 medical done by the military (in my case French navy)!
